 The show falls on a date that everyone recognizes. It seems to me the perfect opportunity to hold an encompassing and open conversation about hate, tolerance and forgiveness. Accompanying me will be Bill Cumming, the founder of What One Person Can Do (a program you've heard me talk about many times, based on loving kindness and the power within) and a man and father with first hand experience of our topic. At a young age his own daughter was brutally attacked (she is fine and thriving today). Bill has since dedicated his life to understanding and addressing the roots of violence.
Do you believe there are some people who cannot, by the nature of their actions, be deserving of forgiveness? What is our definition of forgiveness? Bill has been doing transformational work for 30 years in schools, prisons, rape crisis centers, businesses and organizations of all kinds. His work is accessible to everyone in a conversation called ‘What One Person Can Do’ and he can be found on www.oneperson.net More shows with Bill can be heard in the archives: December 26, 2008, A Conversation That Changed My Life October 31st 2008, It’s Personal and It Matters, An Election Special  Julie Blake is a woman who can take just one hour of your life and change the way you make your living. She knows three things are the key to unlocking your life and business: boldly asking, getting real and total authenticity. Julie will reveal how she helps others create real and meaningful success. The kind of success that we all want but either don't think is possible, or don't think is possible without compromising our core values and selves. So is your project or business really developing in the ‘soulful’ way you intended? Are you madly marketing or are you making a difference?

In 1986, at the bottom of a ten-year fall into depression, anger, and addiction, Byron Katie woke up one morning and realized that all suffering comes from believing our thoughts. Questioning every painful thought she had, she developed an amazing method of inquiry she called The Work. The Work asks four simple questions that turn stressful thoughts around. When you Work with a thought, you see around it to the choices beyond suffering. Katie has been bringing The Work to millions around the world for more than twenty years. Her free public events, weekend workshops, nine-day School for the Work, and 28-day residential Turnaround House bring liberation to people everywhere. Her School for the Work takes place twice a year.
